Paul Sporer

Ya, espec. w/Ottavino on his way back, too
Tom

Melvin Upton the real deal or is he a prime sell-high guy? Thanks!
Paul Sporer
3:01
It's only a .743 OPS, so ya I think it's real. He has pop and speed and as long as he's healthy, those are staying IMO
Josh
3:01
Taillon is on waivers in my 12 team mixer. Is he worth a claim over the likes of Gio, McHugh, or McCarthy?
Paul Sporer
3:02
Ehhhh, probably not. Just not that many innings left in the tank this year. I'd probably look toward the others
mookie best
3:02
Am I crazy to ponder benching McCutchen for platoon-advantage Reddick or Duvall (also have betts & jbj)? Daily transactions so I can act when Cutch gets hot but damn he's frustrating, esp when I have options... thanks dude
Paul Sporer
3:04
I'm usually strongly a "start-your-studs" guy, but I like your gameplan here and the ability to drop him in if he does catch fire makes it easier to bench him for a bit in favor of Reddick / Duvall in their favorable matchups.
Josh Bell
3:04
All I have ever done, since being a highly touted HS player is hit. I'm .300/.370/.460 for my career in the minors but never been a top 25
Paul Sporer
3:05
Solid top-50, though. 1B prospects don't always get their love
Rags
3:05
Is W Chen back?
Paul Sporer
3:06
I think he'll be better than a 5-something, but I do worry about the surge in HRs across the league really impacting him
Kevin Durant
3:06
Do you have any inside info on when the Yankees will deal chapman to the Cubs for Jorge Soler
Paul Sporer
3:07
I couldn't have less inside info :)
JTP
3:07
Is Rodon worth holding out on?
Paul Sporer
3:07
Really depends on league size/type
Meant to get this disclaimer out earlier, but please include league context otherwise it's really tough to give good answers
Will
3:08
Is Sano for Cole fair value? Should i be setting my sights lower or could I do better if I package someone like Osuna with Sano. Badly need pitching help and am about to punt saves in a 12 team 5x5 redraft league
Paul Sporer
3:09
I'd give that a shot. It'd be a nice buy-low on Cole (not that low, Sano is no shlock, obv)
Mojo

Standard 5 hitting cats (w/ avg): pls rank by future value (over next 3-4 years): Story, Semien, Nunez, D Travis. Thanks
Paul Sporer
3:12
Story, Travis, Semien and Nunez... I know I just ranked the All-Star last, but we have 1240 PA of mediocrity before this so I'm not sure this is the start of some renaissance for Nunez
Who is John Gant?
3:12
If T. Shaw had broken his foot last night, would there have been much of a chance that we'd soon see Holt at 3B and Benintendi manning left field? I was excited there for a moment...(Sorry Travis, you're cool too)
Paul Sporer
3:12
Bro
3:13
Don't ever be excited about someone possibly getting hurt
Gorky
3:13
10-team redraft SS challenge trade: Correa for Xander. Which side you got ROS?
Paul Sporer
3:13
Correa, but it's agonizing to really pick one over the other.
3:14
Please don't repeat questions, y'all. I'm moving as quickly as I can.
AJ
3:14
12 team keep forever OBP/SLG, I'm out of contention. Should I trade JBJ/Nola for Dahl/1st?
Paul Sporer
3:14
What can you get with that 1st? I'd say no, tbh
Tino Martinez
3:14
How would you rank these pitchers ROS: Darvish, Hendricks, McCullers, Shoemaker, S. Wright .... thanks!
Paul Sporer
3:17
McCullers, Hendricks, Shoe, Darvish, Wright ... I think Darvish will be really volatile and could get hurt again. I just don't like post-TJ guys in Year 1. Betting on McCullers to cut that BB%, but I think he will
Pepperoni
3:18
I'm considering targeting cespedes in a 10 team NL Only keeper (keep 8). What is the likelihood he opts out of his deal, potentially wrecking my plan if he ends up in the AL
Paul Sporer
3:18
Strong and then TBD on where he'd go. That's why you can't really plan that far ahead in keeper leagues.
Bork
3:18
I think I took a wrong turn somewhere. Can you direct me to the local ludeburger?
Paul Sporer
3:18
No, it's here. Try the ludeburger and cocaine shake combo
Mojo
3:18
Seems a little crazy, but Duvall or Bautista RoS (5x5 w/ Avg)? Seems like Bautista should be safer, but injured + Duvall has been good.
Paul Sporer
3:20
Still prefer Bautista.
Christian
3:20
Do you believe in the second half downfall that everyone seems to be predicting for Jason Hammel?
Paul Sporer
3:21
We discussed it a bit on the pod. It's not bc he sees the calendar and just turns to shit, I think it's a durability thing. He just struggles to make it through an entire season with health. So yeah, I do kinda buy it. He' is 33 after all
Matt Lattos
3:21
Odds that post-trade deadline, Beni is in the AL? I lose him if he goes to the NL so maybe I should deal him... I am in a pennant race
Paul Sporer
3:21
72%? If you're in a race, I'd definitely deal him even w/out the potential trade looming
